Happiness is connected to minimalism

Just as what the title says above. What exactly is happiness?
Or better yet, does keeping things minimalistic connected to happiness?

As I drove down the Great Highway in San Francisco earlier today.
I could not help but just think why are we attracted to always
buying materialistic things. And when you do buy materialistic things, does it truly keep you happy?

Maybe having less truly is better?

I myself then looked at my past. When I was a kid, I grew up with little to nothing.
I was born in a third world country. However, that did not matter because
I had my family around me and knew as long as I had them, I could not care for anything else in the world.

The less you have the less your worries are.

I'd like to believe so

Is it only me that thinks like this? In the past (High School years) I used to think that having
the latest and greatest gadgets meant that you would be happier and satisfied.
I am now 24 and do not feel like that anymore. Maybe I grew wiser.
